October 25,1944 - The
Battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest
naval battle in history, took place in and around the
Philippines between the
Imperial Japanese Navy and the U.S. Third and U.S. Seventh Fleets.
During the battle, the Japanese deployed kamikaze suicide bombers
against American warships for the first time. More than 1,321 Japanese
aircraft would be crash-dived into Allied warships during the war.

“One of the
challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and
strains of life to get the better of us — to endure the varied seasons
of life while remaining positive, even optimistic.”

Mr. Food'sBiscuits with Sausage Gravy
- "Biscuits
with gravy are a staple at most Southern breakfast tables. Just making
true Southern country-style gravy and biscuits can take an entire
morning...and we don't usually have that time! Y'all are gonna love this
shortcut recipe!"

Mr. Food's
Pulled Pork Sandwiches
- "In the South, there's a barbecue joint on every corner and each one boasts
the best pulled pork sandwiches. The Southern cooks in our test kitchen helped
create a version that comes pretty close to that authentic flavor, but with a
shortcut or two."

Tracy's
Saltine Toffee Cookies
- "This is an easy to make but wonderfully delicious treat. We
pack them in tins and give as gifts during the holidays. Use
your favorite nuts to top the cookies." - OOOH!
This is one of my all-time favorite recipes - an absolute must
for Holiday Cookie Trays!
